In the course wiki you will be working with your classmates to locate and share PowerPoint presentations that exhibit two or more of the 10 principles by Mayer. Once you have located the PowerPoint presentation on SlideShare you will embed it on this Module 3 Page in the course wiki. Each entry should 1) clearly display the author of the PowerPoint, 2) Expain which principle is being demonstrated and how, and 3) Please post your initials next to your entry. You can separate your entries by inserting a . (The icon with the blue bar in the wiki toolbar.) To embed a slideshare presentation just copy the embed code and click in the TV icon in the wiki toolbar. You can click on "Other html" then paste the embed code and click on Save.
Below is an example from a previous class
The purpose of this slideshare presentation is to demonstrate the benefits of distance learning in order to promote its usage. In this presentation, two of Mayer's principles are exhibited. Both of the principles that the presentation promote focus on reducing extraneous processing. The first principle it promotes is the coherence principle. The presentation is very straight to the point. It explains the benefits of distance learning with brief explanations of each benefit. Viewers are not bogged down with extensive detail and extraneous material. The second principle the presentation promotes is the spatial contiguity principle. The printed words and the graphics in the presentation are overlapping. In this case the viewers can view the graphic and text at the same time. The learners will have no problem building connects between the graphics and texts. (KG) Genius Hour in the Elementary Classroom

Website: www.slideshare.net
This slideshare is to inform teachers about Genius Hour or 20% time and how it can be implemented in the elementary classroom. A few of Mayer's principles stand out in this presentation. One is the Multimedia Principle, this presentation does a good job of including both words and pictures for better understanding. The pictures add a lot to show the projects that were completed or being worked on to give the audience a clearer picture. Another principle is the Coherence Principle; the creator did a nice job of only including necessary words and not overloading slides. This makes it easy to follow and easier to make sense of. (ZR)

The purpose of this slideshow is to inform a potential user what the right tech tool is for a job. (phone, tablet etc.) The first area of Mayer that this presentation does effectively is the coherence principle. This presentation has a lot of information about what types of people use technology more than others and how fast the development of products is moving BUT there isn't anything that is extraneous or there that confuses the reader. I think that "less is more" works for this because it is broken down in a step by step manner, very similar to an infographic which allows the reader to understand the information.
The second area that this presentation succeeds in is the Spatial Contiguity Principle. The words and images on this screen are close enough together so the viewer does not have to scroll through pages to focus on one graph or what the graph is about. This makes it easy to interpret all of the information that is being presented along with the graph or chart..
In this Slideshare presentation, the task to be achieved is to convey to the viewers the meaning of instructional design. This video stays on target taking the viewer through a series of slides that effectively reduces extraneous processing as described by Mayer in the course reading. The first area addressed by Mayer and included in this presentation is to reduce extraneous material. This Slideshare includes short, concise text that explains the concept quickly and effectively. The second area explained by Mayer and included in this video is signaling. Each essential concept in this Slideshare is highlighted at the beginning of the presentation with a short highlighted or bold phrase or question introducing the basic concept to be understood. This presentation does an excellent job of what Mayer coined as the "spatial contiguity principle" where explanatory words are posted next to the picture for better understanding and synthesis of the information.
Mayer defines one of two principles for fostering generative processing as the application of the "multimedia principle." This means people learn better from pictures and words rather than just seeing and reading the words. This slide show does a wonderful job of creating a visual representation such as a picture or graph for almost every text entry shown on the screen. This helps the viewer to create better connections in the brain by being shown both the verbal and pictorial representation of the subject area which studies have shown leads to deeper understanding. Finally, Mayer talks about the "personalization principle" where using a conversational style to the text helps to create a relationship between the viewer and presenter. If a relationship is formed, studies have shown that the viewer will try harder to understand the material being presented. Learning Maths
by Jordi Cuesta
This presentation best demonstrates Mayer's personalizaton principle. The text used is short and casual. The sentences are not presented in a formal fashion, but rather are short bits of text meant to quickly give off the desired idea. The author uses exclamation marks, question marks, and ellipsis to help the viewer understand the context more directly and emotionally than formal sentences/language are capable of. This helps the viewer connect with the information more, which can help the author get his point across more successfully.

The SlideShare presentation uses Mayer's Coherence Principle. The slides do not include pictures, but rather specific content words, phrases, and numbers where extraneous words are excluded.
The presentation also uses Mayer's Signaling Principle. The slides are presented so key words are in a different color and font size. The key words (i.e. evaluate) stay the same color throughout the slides. There are also boxes that contain key words and definitions.

This SlideShare presentation uses Mayer's Coherence Principle. It is straight and to the point and leaves out any kind of extraneous material, I appreciate how it addresses concepts in a short and concise manner. It also uses Mayer's Segmenting Principle, the material is presented in learner-paced segments. The material is broken down and presented individually and then Spencer does a nice job of aligning the material for better understanding. Finally, this presentation also uses Mayer's Multimedia Principle in which it presents words and pictures rather than words alone. Even when the words are the main focus of the slide, Spencer was sure to always include a picture along with the text.
(MS) Design It for Learning: Using Multimedia Effectively in Presentation and More
This slideshare presentation, Design it for learning - by Mary Beth Faccioli accomplishes quite a few tasks in regard to Mayer’s Principles of Instructional & Multimedia Design. The first area that this presentation exemplifies is the Multimedia Principle; People learn better from word and pictures than from word alone. Second, this presentation has a deliberate point of using the Coherence Principle; People learn better when the extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included. Third, this presentation reviews the Redundancy Principle; People learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and on screen text.
This presentation targets the two main areas of “How we learn” and “The Principles” of how learning takes place. While this presentation takes place, it exemplifies the principled areas by Mayer then places the context in the areas listed above for relevance of “Design it for Learning.” To identify the first example of the principle’s listed above that have been applied; the presentation exemplified the Multimedia Principle by using quality graphics, photos, and words for point of purpose and examples. I feel this presentation did not follow the Coherence Principle as strongly as the Multimedia Principle. However, some critical points made were done will simple and effective slides. Lastly, the second strong principle conveyed in the presentation was the Redundancy Principle. Some of the key slide made, example; the “How we learn” and “The Principles” slides were used over and over to demonstrate the collective efforts in detailing the core points by tracking and organizing them through out the presentation.
This is a presentation about the difference between fiction and non-fiction. This presentation is a good example of a slideshow that uses multimedia principles. This presentation uses the Multimedia Principle. Words are illustrated with images that allow viewers to quickly understand the differences between fiction and non-fiction. One of my favorite is the page that shows fiction with the gingerbread man and non-fiction with a person dressed as a gingerbread man. This presentation also uses the Signaling Principle. Keywords are bold and organized clearly. This provides cues to the learner so they are aware of what material is most important to note.

This presentation, as the title suggests, is about catapulting into the reality of the 21st century as educators and students alike have been and will be undergoing drastic changes in their surroundings and educational needs. With the new technology age in full-sway, the children of today and the future will not know about the struggles that educators and learners went through at the turn of the century, such as what video rental stores are, what landlines are for, or what fax machines are. The purpose of the presentation is to show how learning will be changing in the near future and how teachers can keep up with the new technologies that are being made available each and every day.
The presentation effectively incorporates several of Mayer's Principles, in particular the principles of Spatial Contiguity and Multimedia. Almost all of the information (limited) that is within the slideshow is directly involved with an image of some form and images are used excessively throughout the entire presentation. (JR)
The slideshare presentation by Ms. Anderson titled, Types of Poetry, focuses on eight popular and most commonly taught poetry forms in school. Each poetry form is not only identified, but is also broken down to explain the form design, purpose and effect that the form of poetry creates. The author also incorporates tips to consider when writing each poetry form. Finally, the author provides examples of each poetry form in the presentation to further aid student understanding of each poem form. The presentation begins with a very simple haiku and moves to more difficult poetry forms, ending with a ballad. The presentation can be used effectively in the classroom, especially if it used an an introduction of a poetry unit to students.
The presentation incorporates several of Mayer's Principles. First, it incorporates Mayer's Multimedia Principle in that it contains words as well as images. The presentation also contains Mayer's Spatial Contiguity and Coherence Principles. When the images (clipart) are used, the images are placed close to the words on the slide. In addition, the overall presentation is free from extraneous words and images that may take away from the overall meaning and purpose of the slide. The presentation, in general, is not heavy with clipart images. Instead, it appears as if the clipart images are added to the slides where examples of the poetry form are provided; thereby, enhancing the effect of the poem. By placing the clipart images on the slides where examples of the poetry form is given and not on the slides where the poem is defined and described, the students' attention is focused on learning about the poem format. I also thought the presentation incorporated the Coherence Principle in that it provided signals or cues to the learner on essential material. This was accomplished by using a different font color and bold elements to highlight important information in the definition and format slides. In addition, different font color was also used in some of the poetry examples to illustrate to students the necessary elements of the poem form, such as an acrostic poem. In general, the information presented on the slides is clear and concise. The learners should have no problem targeting the important information from the slides in the presentation. (ES)
The slideshare presentation that I chose gives the viewer information about the Native American Cultures in the United States between 1491 and 1607. It effectively breaks down the tribes by region as well as cultural diversity and general lifestyles. Richey uses several of Mayer's Principles. First, the presentation uses Mayer's principle of Spatial Contiguity. All text is placed within and joined to the selected images. According to Mayer, students learn better when words and pictures are presented near to one another on the page. Mr Richey has strived to achieve this by clearly displaying text on each slide next to or embedded within his chosen image. Secondly, Mr Richey also relies on Mayer's principles for Temporal Contiguity; in that the text and the images are presented simultaneously. Mayer points out that students actually learn better when they are presented with the image and its corresponding text at the same time. And finally, Richey uses Mayer's Multimedia Principle pointing out that students learn better from words and pictures than just from words alone. Richey couples his written text with wisely chosen still pictures throughout the presentation. Students are clearly able to follow the explanations delivered by Richey concerning Native Americans through his use of this multimedia presentation. (submitted by SC)
The purpose of this slideshare presentation is to get the learner thinking about the considerations that one must take if they are going to gamify a course or lesson. In this presentation, two of Mayer's principles are utilized. The first principle used is the coherence principle. The author does not go into long explanations of what each point needs to convey. The presentation is forward, showcasing each point with a prompt and corresponding pictures. Viewers do not need to decipher large pieces of text or extraneous materials. The second principle in this article is the multimedia principle. The full effect of the presentation is gained from the incorporation of words and pictures, rather than words alone. While, the key point is text, the pictures help demonstrate the point the author is trying to illustrate, and will also be tied into the prompt on each page. Learners will have an easier time understanding and building connections about gamification due to the inclusion of words and pictures. (DR)
Lisa Hasler Waters, University of Hawaii (Charlie Carver, CMU)
This is Lisa Hasler Waters' presentation on the role of learning coaches in cyber (charter) schools. This is highly prevalent to what I do in my world as we have Success Coaches (staff, non-parents) that guide our students through their coursework on site. This presentation highlights both the Signaling Principle and Multimedia Principle as laid out by Richard E. Mayer. Waters' presentation falls under Mayer's Signaling Principle due to slides 2 and 3, where she lays out the table of contents of her presentation and also the four pillars of her analysis. By doing this, she is allowing us to prepare and engage for the material ahead based around those core points. Her presentation also falls under Mayer's Multimedia Principle as she has included some pictures that effectively show the core points mentioned and how they are intertwined with one another.The clip art graphics not only highlight some of the major functions of blended/online learning, but slide # 12 also makes a strong point about the relationships of all the features of online learning and how important each is to the other(s). Learning/Success Coaches, students, teachers, learning management system, technology, and space must all be in unison for this new way of learning to be a successful venture for the learner!
This SlideShare discusses factoring for an Algebra 2 class.
This presentation exhibits Mayer’s Coherence Principle. It follows the “less is more” policy and the slides get straight to the point. Important vocabulary and problem solving strategies are emphasized, but extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded, so the learner is not distracted by unnecessary information.
This presentation also exhibits Mayer’s Temporal Contiguity Principle, which states that students learn better when words and pictures are presented together. Given that this is a mathematics presentation, the pictures are circles, arrows, and other shapes that draw learners’ attention toward important information and step-by-step processes. The pictures are presented within the text, which allows the learner to easily follow the solution to the problem. The pictures are also color coded, which makes learning easier for the viewer. (SC) Aristotle's Three Ways to Persuade
This SlideShare explains and provides examples for Ethos, Logos, and Pathos.
This presentation follows the Mayer's Signaling Principle by very clearly labeling what each slide is discussing. By doing so, the presenter allows the audience to follow what might otherwise be a confusing lesson in an area of study that can be intimidating to the uninitiated. This is a powerful tool for introducing such a complex topic.
The Voice Principle is also followed. The speaker is calm and clear which is soothing and reassuring to her audience. This works in concert with the aforementioned Signaling Principle to alleviate apprehension. The speaker sounds confident in her ability to convey these ideas and equally confident in our ability to grasp them. This would not have been possible with a computer voice. (DF) Time Management Tips for Students
This slideshare provides students with tips for managing their time. The presentation follows Mayer's continuity and spatial contiguity principles. The presentation is very straight forward. There isn't any extra information to distract the reader. The text describing the visual is right above it to drive home the presenter's point about time management. (AB)
